The Untouchable
Sometimes I feel
Untouchable
Like I’m too much to bear
People cannot handle me
And all of my despair
But my despair that others see
Comes from others and not from me
For my experience with
Others
Is more than of theirs
When I am left alone
To wallow in their sorrows
There is only one that cares
Enough or even bothers
To acknowledge my sincerity
The love I have for all
To notice that I care for them
And want to help them
When they fall
But
When I fall
He is the only one to catch me
Holds me tight in his embrace
Lets me know he won’t forget me
For he cares for me like I care for others
Wants to swallow my despair
Catch me when I’m falling
See the love inside of me
While his love for me is growing
Hold me up above the others
So none of them can harm me
He touches me – The Untouchable
And deals with my despair
Handles me in every way with the utmost care
Loves me in every way
Solves my problems; takes away my fears
Understands my experiences and wipes away my tears
Growing every moment, my love for him unfolds
Losing myself within his eyes
Not knowing where to go
And wandering if he notices
If everything I feel shows
For there is not one second of the day
That in my thoughts he does not exist
Or that I want him by my side
Even though I may resist
That I realize there is one problem
He cannot save me from
From this fall he cannot catch me
Cannot hold me away from harm
For I am falling faster each and every day
From a feeling that will not give or slip away
For this boy means more to me
Than I can sometimes bear
Want to pull him closer
Let him brush away my hair
Let him push up my chin
With his hand so dear
So that when I look into his eyes
And we are near
I may taste his mouth
With the lips from which I hear
“I love you”
And finally I can say
“I love you, too”
And know that it is real
Not the same as when from my lips
The others heard those words
For to them I was
Untouchable
And too much for them to bear
But with him I am the breath
From which he breaths air
And when he touches me
I feel no ounce of despair
For this love is more than it was with them
Because when he is loving me
I know I’m loving him.
I’m sorry I waited so long to comment. I wanted to right a poem as a comment because of the way this poem made me feel the first time I read it. It’s a very hard feeling to describe though, and I’m not one for words. You move me with your words, they touch me. Words are powerful but actions hold more power than words and touch holds the greatest power of all. My favorite line is “he touches me - the untouchable.” It’s amazingly structured, like a mirror image of it’s self and very meaningful as well. I love this because you can touch me with your words. I wish I could write as beautifully as you. I feel untouchable as well, but not just sometimes. Never give up what you love!
